While you might think it's rude for guests to cover their ears during a wedding ceremony, family and friends attending Abbey and Mitch Johnston's ceremony were being far from that.

In fact, they were protesting equal rights for gay couples who still can't get legally married in Australia.

The couple, who married in Coffs Harbour, Australia, requested that guests covered their ears during a certain part of the ceremony, where the officiant delivered the line: "Marriage, according to law in Australia, is the union of a man and a woman to the exclusion of all others, voluntarily entered into for life."

According to the Australian Marriage Act of 1961, all ceremonies must include the line. But the couple, alongside their guests, believe this is "bull****".
